Description: | Sea lettuce gets this name because its fronds look like lettuce. It is common in the part of the intertidal zone (the area between the lowest and highest tides) that is nearest to the sea. Sea lettuce is usually attached to rocks but can grow into large mats on top of the water in very sheltered areas. This specimen comes from the Berwick upon Tweed area of Northumberland and was once part of the Nathaniel J. Winch collection. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.botany.189427 | Go to resource |
